Deployment with external files

[wavemasta]

I will first apologize if this has been asked before, but I did search, and I am pressed for time.

I am using vb.net express 2008, with a windows form application, and its done. My application makes use of cmd script files, and other files I have created myself.

I want to put everything in an install bundle, which will copy the files to a directory on the users computer, and then my application can read from that directory, for it to function as it should. The install bundle includes the .exe of my winforms application.

Right now, I hardcoded my application to look into a specific folder on my system, just for testing purposes, but I am going to deploy it soon, and I want to give as much flexibility to the user.

Regards

You could put the file paths in your app.config file.

I don't know how that works, but my application needs some files, and I want all of them bundled in one installable, and when the user installs it, all the files go to a folder on his system.
And my program can access this directory and work as its meant to.
